(7,5 hp)
Course description 2018
Welcome to the courseSupply Chain Information Systems!
In today’s volatile and competitive market, visibility and information sharing along the supply chain are becoming influential aspects for companies to prosper. A company with top-of-the-line information technology and systems cannotachieve its fullest potential without collaborating with other companies within its supply chain, based on fast, reliable and adequate information. Information systems not only help to improve a company’s internal capabilities, but also help to improve the competitive advantage of the entire supply chain. For any company it is important to belong to “good” supply chains. In your future careers, a basic knowledge about Supply Chain Information Systems will be helpful.
